Thought for the Week

I often get asked if certification is still relevant in the industry now that the employment programs are changing. As someone who worked very hard to ensure that BC had a certification process, I still very much believe in the value of certification and here are some reasons why:

1. This profession is a profession regardless of what funding model it falls under. If you are committed to being a Career Development Practitioner, then a logical step is to obtain your certification to validate your skills and abilities.

2. As a professional within this industry, it is important to be a part of the BC career development practitioner community and industry as a whole and being a CCDP is a great way to show your inclusion and solidarity.

3. Your work with clients is important work, and being a CCDP gives your client the security of knowing that they are working with a qualified professional. This need isn't going away because the funding looks different.

I obviously strongly believe in the credential and in the people who hold a CCDP. I hope that people continue to certify and re-certify to ensure that the CCDP credential maintains the credibility it has worked so hard to build.

Enjoy your week!
